Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 53

Frances was indeed angry, and she never imagined that Filip would hire a woman to lie to her.

When Filip returned to the Pearson residence, Frances was drinking tea.

When Filip walked over, Frances scolded him right away.

"Lady, be careful with your health." Martha reminded her. France's passing out just now really frightened her.

Filip stood obediently in front of Frances without speaking.

Behind Frances was a portrait of her, as well as portraits of Filip's parents.

"Is the news about you and Starry true?" Frances said.

Before Filip answered, she added, "In front of your grandfather, your mother, and father, do you dare to lie again?"

Filip didn't want to lie, "It's true."

He looked up at Frances but admitted calmly.

Frances directly threw the teacup at him.

The hot tea splashed everywhere, some splashed on Filip's trousers.

He didn't glance at it. "I am sorry, Grandma."

"You are sorry? You've lied to me for five years, and now you say you're sorry! Filip, are you still taking me as your grandmother?"

"I'm sorry, Grandma."

Filip lowered his head and didn't make any excuses.

Frances had been much calmer after waking up, but she was still angry, although Filip apologized.

Seeing that her breathing was getting heavier, Filip frowned. "You can beat me and scold me, but don't get angry, Grandma. It's not good for your health."

Hearing his words, Frances sneered, "You know this will make me angry now? You hadn't thought about it when you did the thing back then?"

Filip pursed her lips without saying anything.

He never had any intention of getting married, but Frances forced him to go on a blind date every day. Starry went to him and proposed the deal. He also thought she was sick at first.

Seeing Starry's confident appearance, Filip suddenly wanted to make her regret.

Yet later, he surprisingly found that Starry was good at playing the role of Mrs. Pearson.

Frances calmed down a bit, "Whose idea was it? Starry?"

Filip didn't confirm or deny it. He acquiesced.

Frances indeed knew her grandson well.

This answer actually made Frances feel a little better. In fact, Martha had told her just now, perhaps because she had forced Filip too much five years ago.

Frances's anger towards Filip was much gone, but not entirely. She was now angry at Starry.

"What did she ask for?"

Frances knew that Starry didn't ask for much money after the divorce. She just wanted an apartment and a villa.

"That villa at Silvermoon Bay, that apartment in Ethereal Cascades, and five million dollars in cash."

Filip finished, pursing his lips, "She had got the cash that year."

Frances sneered, "She's not greedy."

For the Pearson family, such a villa and apartment were nothing. If Starry really married Filip, after the divorce she could get a thousand times more if she wanted.

"Who leaked the secret? Lucia again?"

"Yes."

Frances slapped her hand on the table hard, "Lucia! Did she think I would accept her after she expose that? That's how the Scott family taught their daughter. They insulted us again and over again. We shall never have any connection with the Scott family in the future!"

With that, Frances got up with Martha's support. "According to the family rules, you should reflect on it in front of your parents for a night!"
